Written by Paul Henry Mussen of the University of California, Berkeley, and John Janeway Conger of the University of Colorado School of Medicine, this seminal work presents a comprehensive account of how children grow, think, feel, and form their identities — weaving together the biological, psychological, and social forces that shape the developing human being.\n\nThe text argues that personality is not merely inherited but is forged through a dynamic interplay of genetics, environment, family, and culture, grounding its claims in empirical research and clinical observation. Mussen and Conger write with the measured clarity of seasoned academics, yet their prose carries an immediacy that makes the science feel deeply relevant to anyone invested in the lives of children. A foundational reference in developmental psychology, this volume remains essential reading for students, educators, and clinicians alike — a testament to just how profoundly the earliest years of life echo into adulthood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609712201947,"sku":"2026100010825-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/42597ff8-98f5-4660-9dd8-4ada2ddc8db5.png?v=1791764768","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010825-secondhand-child-development-and-personality","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
